New Draenei hunter is now named “Nocc”. I wanted “Nock” (the split on the back of an arrow that keeps it on the bowstring) but that wasn’t available. Friday I was sick. Hacky cough, sore throat, no going to work. I spent the day drinking tea with a blanket across my knees.. gnoshing on pot pie while playing with my new addon (Tourguide) and leveling Nocc. My NE hunter was level 21. I didn’t feel comfortable deleting the Night Elf until I had an equivalently leveled hunter. I figured this would take a few weeks. HAH!

Fiancee has fridays off.. so he decided to start a new alt with me. He started a druid and we began leveling up together. We made 10 on Friday, 19 on Saturday and 22 on Sunday. We also did Deadmines twice on Sunday. Yes, we did nothing but play all weekend. Well, honestly I also did two loads of laundry. Oh.. and drove across town on Sunday to break into a friend’s van.Continue reading Hunter Healer

I have a female dwarf hunter. I don’t love the female dwarf hunter.
I have a female night elf hunter. I like the night elf hunter.. but I’d rather have a Draenei hunter. +1% to hit.. they look prettier.. and I’m -so- over the dark blue Night Elf braid.. and it’s almost embarassing to be yet another night elf hunter.

So last night I DELETED the female dwarf hunter (she was all of level 6 so it didn’t hurt or anything) and immediately make a Draenei hunter. I spent quite a while flipping her looks around.. and then I got stuck on picking a name. Finally I tried “Lilac”. It’s a really pretty name. I thought it was already taken on our server so I didn’t expect it to go through. It went through.

On Mynt’s suggestion I went ahead and downloaded/installed Jim’s Cooldown Pulse.

When an ability’s cooldown ends, Jim’s Cooldown Pulse shows the icon for that ability at a position/size on the screen that you’ve specified. It also plays a heartbeat sound to draw your attention. This allows you to keep your eyes in the center of the screen instead of staring at buttons and their cooldowns.Continue reading Addon: Jim’s Cooldown Pulse

BRK has movies about Hunter tricks. Chain tapping, misdirect pull, misdirect pull coupled with an ice trap.. kiting. I think they’re terribly cool. The first time I saw them I thought “wow.. I should so make movies with Tatia showing cool Paladin tricks.”

My recruiting has had good results. One of two friends has bought the game and started her account. Yesterday she played a new mage up to level 10. When I logged on I joined her with Obliette, my 20 druid.

It’s weird going back to playing a druid after not for so long. Pretty much I played Obliette up to 20 to get cat form.. and then wandered off to play other toons without really testing out kitty form. I’d complained that leveling a druid was painful. Well it’s confirmed, with kitty form it’s way less painful. It put alot of “Rawr!” into the game. Rxni, the new mage, and I played for about two hours.Continue reading Guild of One
